About Iveragh

Iveragh is a rural locality in the Gladstone Region of Queensland, situated approximately 35.7 kilometres south-south-east of Gladstone CBD and 17.9 kilometres south-south-east of Tannum Sands, some 496 kilometres north-north-west of Brisbane. With a population of 122 residents spread across a land area of approximately 235 square kilometres, it is a sparsely settled locality on the coastal hinterland south of Gladstone. The Bruce Highway passes through the locality from east to north, and the North Coast railway line also traverses the area, linking it to the broader Central Queensland rail network.

The locality is characterised by low-density rural landholdings and farming typical of coastal Queensland's hinterland. While Iveragh itself has minimal local services, residents are within manageable driving distance of Gladstone's full range of amenities including hospitals, schools, shopping, and the major port and industrial area. The area suits those seeking a rural lifestyle with practical access to a significant regional city.
